Question

LMNP is a rectangle. Find the value of x and the length of each diagonal. LN= x and MP= 2x -8

Answer 1

x = 8 (Verified) ✅

Explanation:

If we visualize the figure, we can see that sides LN and MP are going to be parallel and of the same length.

So x = 2x - 8

Subtract x

0 = x - 8

x = 8

Check the answer

8 = 2(8) - 8

8 = 16 - 8

8 = 8 ✅
